Generation, Optimization and Amplification of Ultrashort Infrared Pulses
(2023)
The development of few-cycle, ultra-intense laser sources in the long-wave infrared (LWIR, 8–12 μm) is of keen interest in many research fields, including molecular spectroscopy in the “fingerprint” region, laser-induced ...
Plasmonic Waveguide Lithography for Patterning Nanostructures with High Aspect-Ratio and Large-Area Uniformity
(2018)
The rapid development of the semiconductor industry in the past decades has driven advances in nano-manufacturing technologies towards higher resolution, higher throughput, better large-area uniformity, and lower manufacturing ...
High Resolution Organic Vapor Jet Printing of Phosphorescent Organic Light Emitting Diode Arrays.
(2013)
Organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) are widely used in mobile devices due to their thin form factor, wide color gamut, and high efficiency. The introduction of OLEDs into televisions and monitors has been slowed, in ...
Reduced-Order Modeling of Turbulent Reacting Flows Using Inertial Manifold Theory
(2021)
Turbulent flows found in aerodynamics, propulsion, and other energy conversion sys- tems pose an inherent computational challenge for extensive predictive simulations. Over the last few decades, a statistical approach for ...
Aural Architecture as Affect: Understanding the Impact of Acoustic Environments on Human Experience
(2021)
Architectural design plays a significant role in shaping human experience in buildings through the perception of space. However, architectural characteristics not only result in visual attributes that affect how the occupants ...
Study of Thermal and Magnetic Properties in Strongly Correlated Materials
(2020)
The search for quantum materials is always an exciting field in condensed matter physics. The strongly correlated materials are one of the most intensively studied systems for decades. Due to the complex interplay between ...
Multidisciplinary Study of Soft Shape Morphing Systems
(2021)
Nature abounds with examples of shape morphing systems where an entity either gradually grows into a complex 3-D shape pattern or rapidly morphs into a new configuration. Inspired by the shape shifting capabilities of ...
GNSS-R Remote Sensing of the Ocean: Surface Waves and Related Phenomena
(2016)
In this thesis, we explore several fundamental issues in GNSS-R remote sensing. Global Navigation Satellite System - Reflectometry (GNSS-R) is a relatively young remote sensing technique proposed to measure geophysical ...
Numerical and Analytical Multiscale Modeling of High Cycle Fatigue in Advanced Materials
(2018)
Integrated Computational Materials Engineering (ICME) approaches are gaining popularity in various industries, such as electronics, automobile, and aerospace, due to their focus on multiscale simulation-based design and ...
Engineering Bicontinuous Interfaces for Enhanced Mechanical Performance
(2020)
In this work, we report on the evolution of phase-separated morphologies in co-sputtered Cu-Mo films as a result of varying substrate temperature and deposition rate during deposition. A transition from vertically-oriented ...
